Patterns of the Past

Prehistoric peoples adapted to their environment in many ingenious ways. In these reconstructed scenes of the past, you will see how various objects might have been used. Clicking on the object brings up photos of the actual artifacts that have helped archeologists and others understand how people lived in the prehistoric past. Most interpretations of prehistoric cultures depend heavily on the analysis of material culture, the things left behind.
